What ever the results of the Virus how ever hard we are hit I think we can all agree that this a watershed, one that history will recall.
I did hope that EJ might be about to awaken, indeed there was some movement......but then nothing, he MIA again so, sadly your have to make do with me. The Virus will become all things to all men, you bet it will be used to just-a-fly anything they wish. So we the "little people" are going to get raped by this.....but lets try to look down the road & see what "Lovely things" are coming.
People:-
Well, I have no doult VAST sums of money will be thrown at the problem but the econermy is now like that plane on the Hudson with dead engine x 2 (Flame out) every effort will be made at a "re-start" but we must now prep for a "water landing". Let me also assure you that every effort will also be employed to convince the people that the Virus was every bit as deadly advertised ....."Virus De-lie-ers" ?
Assuming that we can't (or they won't) re-light engines, where or how far are we going?
I take a rough guess at early 2000's for house prices & stocks (non Tec) Oil already there. Mass unemployment & without a stock/Tec or House price bubble to drive growth its not easy to see what can be done. The people are going to hit right across the board, savings will be watered down via money printing & pensions (even state pensions) will be cut.
................but it gets worse!
Although fuel will be cheap, the nations (Western) buying it will be bankrupt...as I child I recall the balance of payments used to be discussed on the evening news.....well until Nixon closed the Gold window. Thus the people will face some rather hard choices, like using a BUS or Train rather than a car. Frankly, its high time!.......I have in my photo collection a old photo of my beloved "Sue" looked like Pat Benatar, I took the photo in Feb 24 1987 outside her house.......looking past her I can see the road (16:07 pm). Very few cars & small ones at that!
I was there again this year 24 Feb 24 2020 & at 16:07.........you can't see the road for cars!, Vans/SUV's LARGE BMW/Merc/Audi ....Mum & Dad have a car each, the kids have cars, the Dog has a car, the Cat has a car!!!!
The Nation can no longer afford this indulgence........it has to & WILL be ended!
Taxes?
Well taxes on buying stuff, be it fuel or goods there will be heavy taxes, sadly there already are. So they grit their teeth & try a Tax skake down any & everyway they can. Deflation/Inflation?.....they love to have inflation but at present they locked in a deflation flat spin........"They" need to get out of that.
Car Production:-
Can't help but think this is a killer blow for them, while "Gretta" will be put on the back burner, like HELL people will be going out to buy new cars. Lease hire to bankrupt company drives will not be good ide either. I suspect that vast amount of time & cash will now be focused on EV/Fuel Cell transport, it will be part of the bale out deal.
I mavel at Fords control blade rear suspension ...but does 123 bhp required it?
Ford have now dropped it for cars with less than 150 bhp, but it should never had been. Large 225 section tyres on a car to contain 123 bhp?
Nope, a new Model "T" is required, EV ltd power & EV power....small.....& 1 per family, Mum & kids can use it.
